This is one sub-genre that seems to be making a come back or at least in the sense of the word. With the possibilty of Behind The Mask 2, Hatchet III, Scream 5, Halloween III & a new Texas Chain Saw Massacre 3 (3-D) among some upcoming releases such as Wrong Turn 4 & ChromeSkull: Laid To Rest 2 on the way, it seems that the slasher genre is slicing/dicing its way onto the screen (scream) once again!

I agree with u choosing Black Christmas (1974) as the best slasher of all time. I wholeheartedly agree. That is one of the very few movies that actually scare me and impress me at the same time. By far the finest slasher ever crafted in cinematic saga, and I don't see any slasher topping it EVER. It's got Hitchcockian tension to it and was done pretty well. Sorry, Halloween.

I like Black Christmas quite a bit, but there is some really,really lame humor that almost completely sucks me out of the film. It is the same problem I have with The Town That Dreaded Sundown. The humor is supposed to release some tension, not completely deflate the film.
